6.6.2 DIP-Switch Setting

The 4-Port Multi-Protocol ISA Adapter has a 10-position DIP switch which is used
to set the following parameters:

You do not need to set every DIP switch on the adapter to configure it. The only
DIP switches you have to change are those referring to

Interrupt Level and Bus I/O

Address.

The DIP switches indicating the

Memory Size, the Edge Connector and the

Bus-Width can be left in the default position set by the factory.

The following table shows the parameters values you may want to select in order to
define the Interrupt Level and the Bus I/O Address for a conflict-free configuration
of your first, second and third 4-Port Multiprotocol adapters.
